I can take a wild guess about some traits she never selected.

I didn't say anything about communists. I am arguing that people's complaints about meat or not unique and apply to most other economic goods.

It sounds like your issue is with our resources allocation system and meat is just a proxy for it that you don't care for.

So you agree that if I pay the cost it's not a problem? You just disagree about what that price is?

In other words, a plant based diet is primarily about your budget?

Every activity and product has a cost and contributes to waste. If I enjoy that food and pay for the cost then whats the problem? Are we suggesting it's virtuous for its own sake to have a lower standard of living?

Interesting. Do you see this as defending democracy?

Everytime I do a foundational activity like this it does turn out to be illuminating. Why do you doubt you'll learn something?

That's besides the point. Some people also do not like laptops and prefer desktops.

The phone is not the final destination for personal computing.

This is incredibly hindsight biased.

The watch itself is already a phone substitute for many people and continuing to grow. Isn't wearing a small thing on the wrist better than a brick in your pocket?

Do you have any imagination about how form favors could advance or even be different?

Yes. Well all those positions are just employees as well, not owners.

> mathematicians

I see that differently. Mathemticians often come into a field that's complex and filled with fudge factors and layers of engineering and make it clear and simple. See the history of electrical engineering in the 20th century.

Activities can be very useful and not psychologically satisfying.

> Even PG does not post on this forum

According to recent analysis, he does under pseudonyms.

Also PG Twitter is probably 90% marketing his investments, so he is complicit in this way

It's actually an easy problem to avoid Buy a Knuth book or other core science/math text and read that instead.

This. Just wait until you meet someone familiar with everything you know much deeper and it's not even their main thing.

Boomers have to spend their final portions wealth on incredible health care services to extend their life by a few months to years.

Would you pay a large amount for another speculative technology development (say Tesla auto pilot)?

Personally I would only do that if I know and care about the topic, in which case I would have an answer already.

Yes. I know very few people who hold "work is everything" or even work more than 40 hours.

Wow thats usually the amount of time it would take to become an expert in a completely new field.
